This 38 page book written in 1937 by Champion Paper and Fibre Company details the process of chestnut extract and includes many photographs. Chestnut trees provided a double use for Champion who pioneered, and had a patent on, the practice of extracting tannic acid and then using the sulphate method for pulping the wood chips to make paper. Champion was at one time the largest producer of 25% chestnut extract, exporting nationwide and to 12 countries. Production began in 1908 and halted in 1951 about 25 years after blight hit Western North Carolina killing off the chestnut trees.

Between 1914 and the late 1960s, the Champion Fibre Company published an internal newsletter, called The Log, to share news about the Canton mill, the community, and its employees. After 1940, news from the entire “Champion Family,” which included mills in Hamilton, Ohio; Houston, Texas and Sandersville, Georgia, was featured in each issue., 3 R ~ ARY 1959 I> () iY ' • ' See: uNo. 20--A PAPERMAKING GIANT" -- pages 8- I I ~~ THE VACULITE VENTURE'" -- pages I -5 l From the Editors \V ( 1 tha t our cov r thi · m nth is w r!l mor than h u ·ual men tioo.

Let it be said that our cartoon characters are not exactly models of good safety prac­tices. Nor does the clutter and confusion seem de~ i gned to ·prevent mashed toes or banged heads. Suffice it to say that Champion con­struction teams are more safety-minded than the little men on our cover. Sharp-eyed Safe­tyman Otto ' 1\Tagers picked out six unsafe practices in their work.
